Indiana still administers the legacy Uniform Bar Exam with a cut score of 264 on the 400-point scale. Its first NextGen administration is July 2028 — July 25–26, 2028.

That date decides which exam you study for. Candidates sitting in Indiana before July 2028 take the current exam; from July 2028 onward, the NextGen format applies. If your timeline could cross the switch — say a first attempt on the old exam and a retake after — factor in that the two formats reward different preparation.

Indiana has already announced its NextGen passing score: 614 on the 500–750 scale.

Adoption status sourced from NCBE’s decisions-by-jurisdiction page. Registration windows, fees, and character & fitness requirements are set by the Indiana board of bar examiners — always confirm deadlines with them directly.

Preparing for the NextGen format

The NextGen exam tests 8 foundational subjects through three item types — standalone MCQs (including 6-option select-two), integrated question sets, and performance tasks. BARGO covers all three with exam-format practice, honest availability per subject, and a free diagnostic to find your baseline.
